Arabic 20 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook
- Add the water to a small bowl and microwave until hot. Add the saffron. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the vermicelli. Boil until half cooked through, approx. 5 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl along with the sugar, tossing until the sugar has dissolved.
- Place a large cast-iron pan over a medium-high heat, add 3 tbsp of the butter along with the spices including the freshly ground pepper. Cook, stirring until toasted and fragrant, approx. 2 minutes. Toss the vermicelli through the spiced butter and evenly spread it in the pan.
- Combine the saffron water and orange blossom water and drizzle half over the vermicelli.
- With the pan still placed over a medium heat, cook the vermicelli for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip over and cook for another 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Transfer to a cutting board and cut into croissant-sized pieces and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Lightly beat the eggs. For an omelette to fit into a standard-size croissant, use a 10cm non-stick frying pan. Alternatively use a standard frying pan and cut the omelette to fit inside a croissant. Place the pan over a medium heat and add the rest of the butter, remaining saffron water and eggs, season with the salt and swirl to form an omelette (or 4 mini omelettes), approx. 5 minutes.
- Halve the croissants widthways and place the balaleet and omelettes inside.
- Serve immediately with a breakfast spread.
